Remarks

In Server and Instant Feedback modes, the View does not restore the focused row after sorting or filtering. This avoids additional requests to the server and significantly improves application performance. However, if you need to preserve the focused row, set the AllowRestoreSelectionAndFocusedRow property to true.

When grouping by a column so that this column becomes the first grouping column (or the single grouping column), the focused row is not restored (regardless of the AllowRestoreSelectionAndFocusedRow option). The view moves the row focus to the first visible data row. The same applies when you ungroup the view (there are no grouped columns).

When a selected row becomes hidden (e.g., as a result of a data filtering operation), this row is deselected, and its selection status will not be automatically restored.
